Wednesday Worlds of Wonder JOHN CARTER "Death has Three Heads"

Continuing the Secret Diaries of John Carter...

...so we're presenting the never-reprinted "Secret Diaries" mini-series that ran in DC Comics' Tarzan Family in 1976!

The Adventure Concludes...Next Wednesday!

Of course, it goes without saying that since these are the "secret diaries" of John Carter, that he must have survived in order to write them...

This all-new tale from DC's Tarzan Family #63 (1976) was written by Bob Kanigher, penciled by Noly Zamora and inked by Vic Catan..with several panels redrawn by editor (and comics legend) Joe Kubert!

As we mentioned earlier, this mini-series has never been reprinted since it's publication in 1976, even in the recent Dark Horse trade paperback that presented all the other John Carter stories that appeared in Tarzan and Weird Worlds!

Reading Room PETER RABBIT "Trouble on the Moon!"

We wanted to present a Moon-themed Space Mouse story in tribute to the 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11...

but all we could find was this strip also by Space Mouse's writer/artist Frank Carin!

This never-reprinted tale from Avon's Peter Rabbit #30 (1955-6) was...scheduled for last Friday's post, but we felt a serious story would be more appropriate the day before the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landing!

Monday Madness ALICE "Alice in Puzzleland"

Before we present the final Alice tale and transition to the  book's "sister" title; Fairy Tales...

...we thought we'd run the never-reprinted one-pagers so common to comics of the era!

Yeah, someone drew the alligator's outline in the comic!

At least they didn't mark up the inside back cover...

Writer-artist Dave Berg did these one-pagers from Ziff-Davis' Alice #11 (1951) as well as the final Alice story that you'll see next Monday!

Happy 50th Anniversary, Apollo 11!

In the 1940s (and before), we dreamed of meeting (and battling) aliens on the Moon...

...In the 1950s, we feared meeting (and battling) Commies on the Moon...

...when we actually got to the Moon in 1969, thankfully, there was nothing to fear (or fight)!

Happy 50th Anniversary!
